makobob needs HELP - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Bob,

My best fishing partner (And Uncle), lost his leg about mid calf 20+ years ago stepping on a downed power line he didn't see under the snow.

Anyway, we fish slippery rock covered rivers in Utah and Idaho. This is about the toughest walking conditions I know of and he has no problems. Even in the beginning he got the hang of it pretty quick and was back fishing and taking pictures (He's a photographer for a living).

Also, cannabis helped him a lot with phantom itching / pain in his foot, as well as kept a smile on his face through the process. A lot of my family was pretty old school in their thinking about this until they saw how much it helped him.

Good luck. Hope to see you in Baja some time.

Tim
